Scripting
I've always struggled with learning other languages, despite near straight As in other classes that came with a lack of paying attention and studying. Spanish, Sign Language, Coding - it took 10x the effort to pull Cs in those classes as it took to get above 100% in physics back in high school.
If there were functional tools for every aspect of gen 3 rom hacking, id have 4 hacks out by now (been in the scene since like 2010). Instead I have 1 half of a game that gets reiterated on each time i take a 4 month break xD

Adding new/custom sprites and tiles. Literally impossible for me :(

Tile editing and custom tile insertion. custom tile addition is so tedious(though thankfully graphicsgale mitigates some of this troublesome aspect) before you could use em to make custom maps in the hack(especially tilesets that aren't customized for GBA). Custom images addition through ASM(ex. Custom menu and HUDs in Overworld screen) is also very tedious since it's an out of bounds aspect of basic Romhacking and the process is hell(even if it's a simple addition to normal player's eyes)

Being almost the only person who hacks a given rom base.
Making maps.
The frustration of not being able to find a piece of code you must know is in the game.
The extreme 'breathe on it and it breaks' glitchiness at the drop of a hat of Gen I.
Firered disassembly not working on older versions of windows.

AdvanceText.
It hasn't worked for me since that old Windows XP computer I had as a kid. Does a copy of it that works on windows 8 even exist any more?
I also hate dealing with the GBA's limitations and random file corruption that comes out of nowhere for no reason.
